Where Does Spring Water Come From?

Yeppoon

Spring water is the same water that has existed in nature for thousands of years, with all of its pure qualities still intact. It isn’t treated or processed, and it’s not exposed to any chemicals that could contaminate its purity.

Spring water is a popular, healthy choice of refreshment across Australia, but where does it actually come from and why is it so good for you?

What is spring water?

Spring water is natural water that is sourced directly from an underground aquifer, which is the technical term for an underground reserve of water.

This water is naturally clean, which means it doesn’t require the addition of chemicals or other impurities before it’s safe to drink.

It’s also important to understand that spring water and mineral water are not the same.

Mineral water is not bottled at the source, but instead is water that has been filtered and treated to add extra minerals and remove impurities.

If you want to stay hydrated while avoiding any artificial processes, spring water is your best bet.

Where does spring water come from?

Spring water is an incredibly popular healthy hydration option in Australia, accounting for a large percentage of all sales of bottled water across the country.

  • It can be sourced from springs underground, where it is naturally filtered through rocks to remove impurities.
  • It does not need to be treated to be drinkable.


In fact, spring water should not be treated, because this impacts its purity. Spring water is already treated naturally, as it trickles through limestone rocks underground before pooling above the surface in its final form.

This natural filtration process is incredibly effective at removing contaminants from the water, making spring water entirely clean and safe to drink from the moment it rises above the surface of the bedrock.

From here, spring water is collected and bottled by professionals like us. Most of the time, spring water is collected commercially using specialist wells that can extract a large amount of water more quickly without missing out on the natural filtration that the aquifer itself offers.

Spring water is one of the healthiest choices you can make when choosing how to hydrate yourself.

As well as being free from toxins, chemicals, and additives, spring water is naturally pure and alkaline, low in sodium, sugar and calories.

It has a neutral pH level of 7.0 or above; this means it can be enjoyed by people who are sensitive to acidic foods as well as those with gastric reflux disease or ulcers.

Spring water is high in potassium and magnesium, which help maintain a healthy heart by lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of strokes and improving nervous system function.
